2016 was the year it was written in the stars.

The year I would awaken to my Soul, to my magnificent Higher Self and it happened FAST. All in divine timing and orchestration.

Big deep Soul questions began to arise within me that I couldn’t shake away.

“Who am I? Why am I here? What is my purpose of being alive? There has to be something greater for me than this life I am living”

At that time I was a Christian, married, living in the same home town in Virginia I was born and raised in, leading a successful career in the medical device industry, following the “societal” path. I struggled with episodes of major depression and was on/off anti-depressants for almost a decade, far from feeling real happiness and satiated in life. I never really felt like I fit in although I did a pretty good job at pretending I did. People pleasing, adopting others’ beliefs and “accepted” ways of living, constantly seeking outside validation to feel “good enough,” that I belonged, or that I was loved through religion, relationships, career, money, old paradigm programs and systems, and not knowing truly who I was and why I was here. I silently suffered for sooo long.

All part of the divine plan and unfolding for my journey. and I honor that precious Emily and her path with great reverence.

Then 2016 entered in...

At the time, I didn’t know what Soul really meant and certainly did not feel at all connected to who I truly was. I had also had a near death experience years prior and my life felt confusing because I knew deep down I was here for something greater but I didn’t know what that meant…yet!

And a massive Spiritual Awakening journey began which shifted my entire reality as I knew it.

Unable to shake away these two profound questions…“Who am I? Why am I here?” which were constantly running through me as the tools for my awakening spark….nothing else mattered to me at this time than coming into this truth

I would spend hours in nature by myself asking these big questions of my existence, alot of it under the stars talking with the Universe as all the answers began pouring in. My intuition turned on and so much magic began unfolding. I didnt know what Higher Self was at the time, but I knew it was a higher power coming through me and I was naturally high on life. My depression fully healed and I was falling madly in love with mySelf for what felt like the first time. It was all coming from the most beautiful place within as I was awakening to the truth of who I am and reclaiming my power.

I questioned everything in my reality from religion to the medical and school systems, friendships, my marriage, inner programs, ways of operating in all areas of my life… literally shattering illusions of ways of living and being that I once knew to be true and safe. I was stepping into my power like never before and I felt liberated. And that is just a fraction of what shifted as many life transitions and inner realizations were happening as I was expanding my consciousness and my new reality was anchoring in. The old ways, relationships and "former” reality was dissolving/evolving as I was being upgraded to an entirely new dimensional reality.

In a short amount of time, a new way of being and a new reality was present within me. I began living in a way I never thought possible, anchored in Self love, empowerment and pure magic. Early 2017 I ended my marriage amicably, moved to Peru and legally changed my last name to Moon. The Emily who awakened in 2016 had metamorphosed and almost all those in her reality at the time didnt understand and she too was getting to know this new SELF.

It was a wild ride! Exciting and with its own challenges. Some very big.

Maybe you can relate in your own way…?

And each of our Soul’s called in our divine timing and orchestration (the how, what, when) to AWAKEN to the truth of who we really are…
